Is that the sorceress at the end of the first half? That one was easy with a bit of timing. The attacks are easy to evade, and a decent sword will do some damage.

I was at the one-but-last map element, but I had to quit. And now the game won't load anymore, same thing as with Cheater. Is that the sorceress at the end of the first half? That one was easy with a bit of timing. The attacks are easy to evade, and a decent sword will do some damage.

After being able to start it...Yeah, she is not that hard.Seemingly, she will never cast the same spell twice in a row, and in melee, that thunderbolt is the most dangerous.So just wait (in some distance) until she casts the bolt, then run to her and hack her apart. Repeat.

The *next* boss is hard.After being able to start it...

Every creature can be killed. Sometimes you just need some more gear. For instance, I made a Uber-water Katana to beat the hell out the Freet, or whatever it's called, or else I wouldn't be giving any damage.

Edit: Ffreet is the name. What the hell...Every creature can be killed. Sometimes you just need some more gear. For instance, I made a Uber-water Katana to beat the hell out the Freet, or whatever it's called, or else I wouldn't be giving any damage.

if you think one of the bosses is impossible wait for the last boss and I don't mean the bosses in the last part of the mapif you think one of the bosses is impossible wait for the last boss and I don't mean the bosses in the last part of the map

Let's do a collab - I've done a big part of {-1, -1}, where {0, 0} is the farm. May be fun, and they suggest to do it together anyways.Let's do a collab - I've done a big part of {-1, -1}, where {0, 0} is the farm. May be fun, and they suggest to do it together anyways.

Heh. Got around to playing Ginormo Sword and soon, soon I shall have a sword Sephiroth could be proud of. What's the use of adding width to it anyway?

Arg... Hate the lizard assassin. It freaking teleports on me. Heh. Got around to playing Ginormo Sword and soon, soon I shall have a sword Sephiroth could be proud of. What's the use of adding width to it anyway? :P

I recommend you those gloves thingies that extend your attack time. Then you need a strong weapon. Remember that the lizard assassin teleports each time you attack.I recommend you those gloves thingies that extend your attack time. Then you need a strong weapon.

LOL. I just met Arthur (Skeleton Random Boss) and hacked him to pieces - 4.000.000G! (Uh... I'm not sure about the amount of zeroes, enough to buy the most expensive armor in the town twice). Claymore Level 95 ^.^The witch took four-five blows (with the gloves - I napalmed the cloud boss for 20 minutes, that's enough cash to buy a lot of useful stuff), Efreet will be no problem, I guess.

Doesn't increase enough. Also, Death is rather annoying, but doesn't seem to be THAT difficult. Just some more holy enchantments for my weapon, courtesy Valkyries.

I've got 40 million gold right now, and am saving up 100 million for the best spell... Taking forever. Arthur only gave me 2million, and the other random bosses are like, WAY WAY WAY too boring to kill. Hacked a Macrophage to pieces, took me half an hour... One damage bar per 14 strikes. :/

I've been trying to gather up all Library records but it's almost impossible. Some of those things are way too rare and have way too much hp...Doesn't increase enough.

You probably know the curse of Wikipedia. One day, I was reading a bit about variations of Nomic, got into variations of chess, and eventually for some reason ended at a nice game I never heard of: ChessRogue. It's a roguelike (you know, like Nethack and ADOM) but with chess pieces: you are a whimsical piece and you must take on the entire opposing army consisting of pawns, knights, bishops and the more unorthodox sergeants, eagles, tigers and stuff. Capturing pieces earns you new powers like the ability to jump over water, capture diagonally, etc.

And it's fucking hard. Practice mode is fairly easy as it warns you when you are moving into check and allows you to restart the level if you are captured. Start playing normal mode and you'll beat your head against the table every 5 minutes. Have fun and don't hurt your table.You probably know the curse of Wikipedia.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChessRogue 0.3.0 game score-----------------------------------------------------------------------------You played at practice difficulty.You reached level 25 and at 2008-06-05 21:26:43 you were victorious!

Wow. Even with the game telling me exactly when I was about to commit suicide, that was still hard as hell. I shudder to think of how many times I will die in the actual game.

Powers were fun, though. Teleportation, attacking all adjacent squares simultaneously, capturing pieces between you and your destination, the Archbishop's Staff... very very fun. Once you actually get them, that is.Just beat the game for the first time... on practice mode.

Yeah, the game's really fun. The special levels are a bit difficult though. I always end up trapped between two hordes of pawns supported by sergeants. :/Yeah, the game's really fun.

Quite easy after getting some important stuff (mantrap superpower is nice). In fact, I had 0 "You're going to suicide if you do this" messages in the king level.With a good tactic you can pwn the first few pawns without a problem.It's hardly possible to get to 15 crocs. You either need to die after killing them all multiple times (exploit - should be fixed) or having learning while killing them.The fortifier special level is easy.The best combo is repeat + capture-everything-you-jump-over + jump-with-everything + move-capture 3 squares.

I guess I'll tweak the game a little for my needs (snarl not stacking, for example - 4k turns of fear, anyone?).[code]

I can get to level 5-ish easily these days, but they always manage to trap me. It's not the stupid mistakes anymore, it's the strategy. Sigh. Choosing the place of battle is half the fight, it seems.Lemme just say that practice mode doesn't count. :mrgreen:

The main problem is that you need more kills to get a power, not that it doesn't say you that you're about to die.The main problem is that you need more kills to get a power, not that it doesn't say you that you're about to die.

Not almost the same. Performing an indefinite-repeat with a 3-move-charge causes you NOT to charge pieces near water, and often causes you to stop when you land in water as well (if you didn't collect the second water power... which I never did).[quote="Cheater"]That's almost the same.
